Kylie Minogue Confirms 40th Anniversary Tour Plans
Pop icon Kylie Minogue has confirmed she is planning a tour to celebrate her 40th anniversary in music. The singer let the news slip during a candid interview with The Sunday Times’ Style magazine, ahead of the premiere of her upcoming Netflix documentary.
When asked if she had plans to mark the milestone with a live tour, the 57-year-old star replied, “I’m probably not meant to say this, but yes, I am.” Minogue, who launched her career in 1987 while starring in the Australian soap Neighbours, would be looking at a 2027 timeline for the anniversary celebration.
A Career Spanning Five Decades
Minogue’s journey from television stardom to global pop dominance is the subject of the new three-part Netflix documentary series, KYLIE, which premieres on May 20. Directed by Michael Harte—the filmmaker behind acclaimed projects like BECKHAM and WHAM!—the series utilizes personal archives, home movies, and new interviews to chronicle her life in the spotlight.
The documentary explores significant chapters of her career, including her 2005 breast cancer diagnosis and the public scrutiny she has navigated over the last five decades. Minogue admitted to feeling a mix of nerves and excitement regarding the release, noting, “I’ve been asked by so many people to do a documentary in the past, but I’ve never done anything like this before.”
New Music and Future Ambitions
In addition to the documentary, Minogue revealed she recorded a new original song for the series’ closing sequence, describing the process as a challenging but rewarding creative endeavor. Looking toward the future, the singer expressed a strong desire to return to acting, specifically mentioning an interest in performing in a musical.
With over 80 million records sold worldwide, Minogue remains a powerhouse in the industry. Her most recent studio album, Tension, produced the 2023 viral hit “Padam Padam,” proving that her influence continues to resonate with new generations of fans. As she prepares for her 40th anniversary, the anticipation for both her documentary and her future touring plans continues to build.
